Gas distribution companies use network analysis models to underpin financial decisions in relation to asset investment. The accuracy of these models is determined through a rolling annual cycle of pressure monitoring and building models to analyse data to ensure the network is operating at its most efficient.

Once the model has been shown to correspond to real-life data, it is released to the planners and used as the basis for decisions on new infrastructure, pipe replacements, etc. If new housing or a factory is built, the extra demand for gas can be modelled and predicted so that changes in delivery can be made to meet the required standards.

The primary objective is to supply all consumers with adequate pressure while operating the network at the lowest pressure commensurate with this. This also minimises gas leakage. Pressure data, recorded at various points, confirms the accuracy of a sophisticated computer model of the gas network.

INTRODUCING OSPREY®

Abriox’s OSPREY system reduces costs for gas utilities and improves the quality and reliability of the gas pressure data. In turn the improved network model will enable better decisions to be taken to optimise the gas network, reducing the volume of gas into supply required to deliver minimum service levels and thereby also reducing gas leakage emissions.

In addition, the ability to view system pressures dynamically improves network management; enabling incidents or customer complaints of low pressure to be resolved more quickly. This can reduce leakage and creates improved customer satisfaction. OSPREY pressure data can also feed directly into average system pressure calculations.

OSPREY pressure monitors are extremely versatile and, as well as standard pressure monitoring, can be deployed in IEM™ (Incident Evaluation Mode) to cater for emergency situations including poor pressure, blockages and ingress or non-routine operations on the gas distribution network. The unit can be accessed directly giving accurate pressure in real time.

The OSPREY is commonly used at district governors and city gates, low points on the network, residential areas and sites with high gas consumption i.e. factories, commercial premises and areas of pipeline repair / known problems.

INNOvATIvE DESIGN

The OSPREY was designed specifically to monitor gas pressure, with careful consideration and liaison with network operators, planners and management. Abriox presents low power electronics, combined with modern communications technology to create efficient, cost effective units for multiple applications across the gas network.

The Abriox OSPREY PL4 is an intrinsically safe, battery-powered remote monitoring unit that can be installed in Pressure Regulating Stations, District Governors, City Gates, posts and meter boxes to monitor gas pressure up to 1450psi.

In conjunction with the OSPREY MCA a total of 3 pressure channels are available. In this configuration you can monitor multiple pressures for a complete overview of the network performance; inlet/outlet of Pressure Regulating Stations and filter differentials.

Data is transmitted automatically or on-demand to the PressureTrac system for displaying, interpreting and archiving the results and for export into 3rd party network management software and other business systems.

OSPREY is extremely versatile and, as well as routine pressure monitoring, can be deployed in Incident Evaluation Mode (IEM) to cater for emergency situations including poor pressure, blockages, ingress or non routine operations on the gas distribution network. The unit can be accessed directly giving accurate pressure in real time.

Simply fix the unit in place, connect it to the gas supply and activate it with a magnet (supplied); from then on everything is automatic – after a few minutes the green light will flash to indicate that installation is complete.

The whole process can be done in 20-30 minutes at site and in all weather conditions. OSPREY is supplied with a roaming SIM that will allow unrestricted access to a host of networks.

A key feature of OSPREY is its inbuilt GPS module which provides timing reference so that measurements are logged precisely, with no drift or offset. No manual data cleansing is required. GPS also enables the software to identify its geographic location automatically, ensuring that data is always uniquely identified with the correct monitoring point.

PressureLink is a communications interface for use with the OSPREY range of pressure monitors. It acts as an intrinsically safe barrier between the OSPREY and un-assessed equipment, such as a laptop PC.

PressureLink allows calibration, maintenance and data download from OSPREYs in the field. This provides technicians the ability to carry out required work, without having to completely remove the OSPREY and send back to the service team, saving time, costs and helping improve your carbon footprint.

PressureLink and the accompanying PCAT (Pressure Calibration and Test) software allow technicians to calibrate units out in the field as well as check battery status, carry out readings or power the OSPREY down. The software also allows technicians to download data from the OSPREY monitor as well as upload data to the PressureTrac server.

The PCAT software interface is easy to use and intuitive for all users, simply connect the PressureLink unit to a laptop via the USB lead, connect the OSPREY (out of the zone) and launch PCAT.

Having the ability to carry out maintenance and calibration in the field offers the opportunity to reduce costs associated with maintenance and calibration. Even a very small reduction in these areas will generate a massive payback on the capital cost of the system.

Its main purposes are:

• Calibration, maintenance and battery replacement of OSPREY monitors (requires PCAT software, which may be downloaded from the Abriox website)

• Manual downloads of pressure data from an OSPREY unit. This may be done in the field or office (in the event that wireless data download is not possible) outside the hazardous area. Once downloaded to a laptop, the data may be subsequently exported into the PressureTrac software.

fEATURES & BENEfITS

• Intrinsically safe• Powered via USB• Maintenance free• Lightweight• Hand-held• No user configuration required

PRESSURETRAC®

Database Software

OvERvIEw

PressureTrac is a dedicated web-based pressure management software system for displaying, recording and exporting pressure data from the range of OSPREY pressure and control monitors. It also provides full remote configuration of all OSPREY monitors directly.

The data is displayed both graphically and tabulated for quick and easy viewing, along with accurate GPS positioning of all devices in the field.

The real advantage to PressureTrac is the method by which data from the OSPREY monitors is recorded.

Rather than a device serial number or a location description to identify the source of the data we use “Device Measuring Points” (DMPs). A DMP is the hybrid identifier of a monitoring device at a specific location.

The OSPREY’s built-in GPS will allow PressureTrac to accurately plot the position of the units and ensures that all pressure readings are always attributed to the correct DMP.

This allows the user to move the OSPREY monitors wherever needed - but retain specific data and the history of each measured point on the gas network. This also eliminates errors associated with allocating monitor serial numbers to nodes and assets.

PressureTrac allows OSPREY monitors to be configured remotely. Device settings can be altered, providing full control and allowing changes dependent on the current environmental conditions. These include logging intervals, reporting times and alert thresholds. Alert conditions can be configured and are automatically reported to users via SMS and/or email.

PressureTrac has full data export capability, allowing the information gathered by the OSPREY monitors to be exported to business systems for integration into existing processes via an automatic customer-specific service or an industry-standard SQL interface to an Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server database system.

PressureTrac can be integrated with SynerGEE® Gas, DPRS, DNCS and more.

hOSTING ChOICES

PressureTrac can be installed on the client’s server or hosted by Abriox, depending on specific requirements.

Hosted by Abriox - cost-effective for short-term trials of the system but with a limit of 1000 OSPREYs and an ongoing hosting cost per month.

Hosted by the User - the software has been designed to be installed on an in-house server, so that users have full control over their own data. There is no limit to the number of OSPREYs and no ongoing hosting costs.

PressureTrac is designed and distributed uniquely by Abriox. Software updates are made freely available during the warranty (or service contract) period.

PressureTrac has been developed to be compatible with most modern browsers. We recommend you use the latest version of your chosen browser.
